Time to be a BIG SISTER!!

         Hey there sweet girl. So big news for our family came in December of 2014, we found out we were going to be a family of four!! We are thrilled for you to become a big sister and to have someone to laugh, play, explore, fight, and experience life with!! I think from the moment I had you I knew I wanted you to have siblings. Having you has been the best thing in our lives and we want to experience that love multiplied and give you the joys of having a brother or sister. It was a surprise and it definitely changes our wedding plans that were supposed to happen at the beginning of August 2015 but now, instead, you will be getting a brother or sister around that time. Plus that means you will have a little sidekick to walk down the aisle with when we do get married. We wont know for another month if you are going to have a little brother or a little sister but I think either way will be just fine with you. I hope it's an easy transition for you and you love having a playmate as much as I think you will but I'm also a little nervous about how you are going to handle not being the only one. I think it will be a huge adjustment for all of us but I can't imagine anything better for our family. You are already kissing my belly when I ask where "our new baby" is and I just cant wait to see your face the first time you meet him/her.
         Now to update you on YOU!! :) You are talking up a storm. It's absolutely true that around 18-22 months most kids have an explosion in language ability and that has absolutely been the case with you. I tried to make a list of the things you say now but it seems to grow with each and every day that passes. Here are the words that you say frequently: Dadda, Mama, Papa, Auntie Abbie, Unc Josh, Unc Ben, orange, dog, fox, bath, night, bop, mimi, please, thank you, pee-uuu, no, yes, chick, horse, duck, quack, moo, hi, bye, grandma, ball, kitty, meow, GG, sock, watch, Mickey Mouse, Octonaut, hot, water, juice, cheese, ice, apple, one, two, hug, head, hat, belly button, boobie, baby, hawks, fishy, outside, TJ, stop, dont, I don't know, go, red, blue, green, purple, yellow, bird, eat, brush, teeth, shoe, boot, feet, nose, book, help, light, bubbles, and i'm sure plenty more I have left out. It's amazing how much you have changed and grown. You are just getting so smart and so big and we are just eating it up. We adore your little personality. You are shy, and stubborn, sassy, and sweet, loveable and thoughtful, crazy energetic and funny. It's just incredible to watch you look at the world with such wonder and explore everything you come in contact with. We got chickens a few weeks ago and you love everything animals so you are in heaven. You love love to get up in the morning and get your boots on with me and go check on your chicks. You love our almost nightly Facetimes with Auntie Abbie, Unc Josh, Carson and Landon. You giggle and giggle at Josh and the boys and love when Auntie shows you the puppies. It's so nice that even though we don't get to see them often enough it still feels like we are super close and that you get your family time with them. You are happiest when you are outside especially if it's with your Dadda and you are both running around like crazy. Lot's of big changes are coming for our family here in the next year and I cannot wait to experience them with you sweet girl!! xxoo
